Adjustable dumbbells are great if you’re limited for space at home but still want an extensive range of dumbbells for your home workouts. While Bowflex is the big name in that field, you can get adjustable dumbbells for much less. Over at Walmart today, you can buy the FitRx SmartBell Adjustable Dumbbell for just $99 instead of $199. Even at $199, this is a great price for an adjustable dumbbell so dropping the price to $99 is even more tempting. If you’re interested to know more, read on while we explain all.

Why you should buy the FitRx SmartBell Adjustable Dumbbell

It’s important to own one of the best dumbbells if you’re keen to work out from home more often. If you’re short on space though or simply don’t want to find room for a growing selection of dumbbells, the FitRx SmartBell Adjustable Dumbbell is the ideal alternative. It has ten plates with 15 different weight configurations covering 2.5 pound increments starting at 5 pounds and going all the way up to 52.5 pounds. As anyone who regularly partakes in the best dumbbell exercises knows, you need a wide range with different exercises requiring different amounts of heft.

The FitRx SmartBell Adjustable Dumbbell has a one-handed weight adjustment to make it easier when switching between the best dumbbell workouts. It has an anti-slip handle and a safety lock so that the plates are kept secure during your workout. A compact design with a durable storage rack keeps it safe when not in use while it’s simple to wipe down and maintain.

All you need to do to switch between a weight is grip the handle and rotate it toward your desired weight. The FitRx SmartBell Adjustable Dumbbell is still bulky which might not suit everyone, but it’s impressive how quickly you can swap between the weights. It fits in most places in your home, unlike a dumbbell tower that tends to take up a lot of space.

The FitRx SmartBell Adjustable Dumbbell is usually priced at $199 but right now at Walmart, you can buy it for just $99. This is your ideal chance to buy two for the price of one to work on those bicep curls at the same time, but you can also opt for just one if that works for you. Either way, you’ll be delighted with how surprisingly well the FitRx SmartBell Adjustable Dumbbell works for the price.

Marshmello wants you to firm up with Burn Boot Camp

Marshmello joins Kevin Hart as another ambassador in new partnership

People, Person, Clothing

I have always been a guy who likes to get into the zone when I go to the gym. Headphones in, hood up, and if I could close my eyes, I would. There is something about music that makes it the perfect workout companion. It touches the heart of your motivation and gets you pumped to pump. No matter what kind of music you like when you are doing other things, when you are working out, most of us love a good beat. That is why it seems like a perfect marriage between Burn Boot Camp and legendary American DJ, Marshmello.

The brand announced global music producer and artist Marshmello as Equity Partner, Franchise Partner, and Executive Partner for Creative & Music, meaning your favorite workout is about to get a new sound, exclusive to the workouts. The artist joins another massive name in entertainment, Kevin Hart, as partners with Burn Boot Camp, propelling it into one of the biggest workout brands on the market.

Generational fitness: A father’s story for passing health to his children

David and Shaya Charvet talk fitness and working together as father and son

Adult, Female, Person

Father's Day is a holiday that is sometimes overlooked, sometimes celebrated, and sometimes divisive. There are those of us who have great relationships with our fathers, there are some who have strained relationships with our fathers, and then there are many of us who are in between. I was lucky enough to have the perfect father, split between three different men. My biological father taught me how to fail. Mostly, he taught me what not to be as a father by failing hard and often. There are lessons there. My step-father was the provider and the disciplinarian, something I didn't openly acknowledge even to myself until later in life. And my grandfather was the hero, the man I always looked up to and wanted to be. All three were vital to my upbringing and teaching me how to be a man, and some people have them in one person. Shaya Charvet grew up with a father who was first a rising star in Hollywood, who then stepped away at the height of his career to be a present father. He decided to be all three of the men I listed, and then taught lessons through fitness. David Charvet and his son have launched BUILD, a new kind of gym with a focus on all the things you would want out of staying in shape, with the background of a father and son learning together.

My dad brought me to the gym from a very young age. They always told me if you can take care of your body and be disciplined there, you can be disciplined in all other parts of life. - Shaya Charvet, Co-Founder BUILD

Reinvent yourself in the summer of 2026 with advice from the man who makes it happen

James McMillian, President of Tone House, gives us a peek into the lifestyle we all crave.

City, Blazer, Clothing

Living in New York City offers a slew of opportunities to meet new people. As a matter of fact, even when you want to be alone, you're likely going to meet six or seven. There are new people everywhere. And more of them, like myself, show up every day. So I tend to relish meeting as many as possible. But when I met James McMillian, it was different. He is striking. Sure, he is handsome, built like a steam engine, and dresses like he just left the red carpet. But it is more than that with him. The room gravitated towards him. And, simultaneously, split for him as if he were parting the Red Sea. What is it about him? Confidence. Appearance. Aura. He struck me as a man who has it all. So, I wanted to find out how he did it. We spoke at length about his life, profession, discipline, and mindset. And, as the president of Tone House, a premier athletic training facility in New York City, he proved to have a lifestyle most of us crave. So, how did he do it?

Progress over perfection. Take your time. The small wins are the most important because longevity is key. Give yourself grace and become a life athlete. - James McMillian, Tone House President
